Migrator for Notes 20.14 - User Guide for Office 365

Section 6. Rooms and Resources Database Migration

The Rooms and Resources database consists of multiple calendars. You cannot migrate all Rooms and Resources at once because multi-calendar databases are not supported in Microsoft Exchange. For this reason, you need to import each room and resource from this database separately into the server.

The Rooms and Resource Import process will create individual nsf files for the migration of the specific calendar data for the entry to be migrated. The location of these nsf files can be configured on the Settings – Rooms & Resources tab.

The Rooms and Resources database can be migrated either to a .pst file or to the Exchange server. Migrating the Rooms and Resources database to a .pst file is considered an easier method as it doesn’t require manually matching or resolving the database to the Exchange server.

In this section, you will learn to prepare the Rooms & Resources database for migration and migrate rooms and resources to a .pst file as well as to the Exchange server.
